Pregnancy is a big deal. That baby bump just grows and grows, and then there are all the other physical and hormonal changes that take place. Then, after nine months or so, there's a new human in the world, and the parents' lives are never the same again.
It's an exciting, scary, weird time for moms-to-be. One of the best ways to cope? Humor. Let's check out some examples.
Miley Cyrus and her wrecking ball don't occupy the same space in pop culture that they once did, but this is still really good.
I like the movie poster treatment here. Setting up the shot looks like it required some work.
Everyone knows that, while pregnancy is tough on both partners, it's the pregnant mom-to-be who's going through the worst of it.
This is probably relatable to many partners out there. While mom has an excuse for her belly, the other partner just has a sympathy gut.
Here's another movie poster pregnancy announcement. It almost looks like a movie Seth Rogen would have been in back in 2009 or so.
I like the horror vibes of this photo. The lighting and hazmat suit are on point, and that's before you even get to the baby belly.
If you and your partner are pregnant, and you're not the pregnant one, it goes without saying that you get to enjoy a few perks.
It's all well and good to do a pregnancy photo in the age of ubiquitous smartphone cameras, but this vintage announcement was captured on actual film.
Not knowing Spanish, I thought the caption meant they were embarrassed, and I didn't understand why.
Well, turns out embarazados means pregnant.
I really, really hope she went right into the doctor's office dressed in this getup. Even if she didn't, the photo is epic.
This is a happy little pregnancy announcement photo. We could all use some soothing Bob Ross vibes when going through this process.
I cringed a little when I saw this photo, but I guess if you're farmers and you find this funny, more power to you.
Parents of multiple kids know that older kids sometimes get jealous and upset. Sometimes, this happens before their sibling is even born.
I'm sure anyone who's been through a pregnancy can relate to this. Sometimes, for whatever reason, the brain chemistry just isn't there.
I really like this one because it's subtle. Only after looking at the photo for a moment do you realize the horrors.
It's hard not to see the resemblance when it's all out there, warm and golden brown. The good news? Everybody loves a nice rotisserie chicken!
The more you look at this photo, the more rewarding it is. It's full of little Easter eggs related to pregnancy.
It takes real commitment to paint your whole body yellow in order to cosplay as Comic Book Guy, of all people.
If this cat is miserable now, just think how it'll feel in a few months when it's competing with a crying baby for attention.
It takes a true visionary to see your own pregnant belly and realize that all it needs is a couple of googly eyes.
